Overview
About Me
*If you're here to request to stay with me, please read the 'my home' section! Just be warned that I'm not known for my brevity. In other words: it's long :)*
I am a very chilled out person, kinda quiet, not very extroverted. I'm happy when I'm with my friends at a bar or someone's house with beer, board games, music, and good conversation. If this sounds like you then there's a good chance we'll be friends!
I live in the Sunshine Coast, Australia but travel as often as I can, much as in pains me to leave my pup Toby whom I adore. I’ve travelled pretty extensively in Europe and would love to do more, as well as more of Asia and the Middle East.
Why I’m on Couchsurfing
Anyone who freely welcomes you into their home and offers hospitality is going to be a good person (most of the time). For this reason I’ve found that the people you meet are very friendly and accommodating by nature, because they are providing their hospitality out of pure generosity. I think this kind of thing is contagious among people, and I would love to think that I can improve as a person by learning from people who have qualities I respect and admire, and hopefully earn their respect in return.
Interests
I like science! Mostly the cosmology kind. The universe is cool man.
I am also passionate about the environment, animals, and the natural world, so if you like these things we will have some good convos.
I’ve recently starting delving into a bit of philosophy. I’m really interested in human nature and how we came to think and act the way we do.
I also really am addicted to watching basketball but I don’t play it 🤷🏻♀️
